Novavax, XPhyto Therapeutics, BioNTech, Valneva - The vaccine blockbusters are on the move again!
It is on again with the vaccine producers. Experts consider the pandemic to be over by the summer of 2022, but vaccination rates are still low, and infection figures are rushing from record to record. Meanwhile, mandatory vaccination by law is also a daily topic of discussion, dividing society into at least two camps. According to the thinking of those currently taking action, the right to freedom of bodily integrity probably ceases when third parties could suffer a disadvantage as a result of one's own decision. It's so easy to knit laws under the postulate of "protection & general welfare," and the individual right to liberty under the Basic Law is thus unceremoniously nullified. After all, members of parliament are supposed to be able to vote without factional coercion. We evaluate the chances of the well-known biotech protagonists!

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Mainz Biomed - After Corona, cancer is the next hype
The euphoria surrounding vaccine manufacturers has come to an end. The majority of investors believe that the end of the pandemic is near with Omicron. More and more states are abandoning restrictions and slowly returning to normalcy. If that happens, one of the biggest hypes of the last decade will come to an end. The pharmaceutical and biotech industries have earned very well from it. After the hype is before the hype. The next big story is cancer, and there are more and more cancer cases, so fighting the disease is a lucrative business. A lot is happening in this area, so we are looking at three companies today.

Here, innovative AI-based technologies are increasingly being used to help save lives and significantly reduce costs for the healthcare system.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, Nordex: Investors must pay attention here!
"Defying cancer" was the headline of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung a few days ago. The interview was illustrated with the two leading BioNTech heads, Özlem Türeci and Uğur Şahin. The famous German scientists' statement revolved around further projects for BioNTech and the fight against cancer. At the same time, BioNTech's stock, like many other pandemic winners, dropped. What does this mean for investors now?

BioNTech, Cardiol Therapeutics, Netflix - The return to normality
The outbreak of the Corona pandemic triggered gold-rush sentiment among many companies. In addition to vaccine manufacturers such as BioNTech and Moderna, stocks whose technology supported the mandated measures also multiplied. Whether shopping, school, work or even sports, one could suddenly do everything simply in front of a screen. However, after the restrictions and limitations, society longs for normal life to return. These developments can be seen clearly in the share charts and the most recently presented figures.

Evotec, Defence Therapeutics, Formycon - Who will benefit from Omicron?
The Coronavirus has shown that without biotechnology and ongoing research, we are relatively defenseless against the whims of nature. What would have happened if novel technology had not been available to produce potent vaccines in a very short time? Would our intensive care units have been as crowded as they were in Italy at the beginning of the pandemic? Would hospital triage be the norm today? No one can say for sure, but history has shown how epidemics - such as the Spanish flu - have claimed many lives in the past.

Valneva, XPhyto, BioNTech - This is the breakthrough
The shares of vaccine manufacturers are currently experiencing a rollercoaster ride. While BioNTech, Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, based on mRNA technology, continue to reduce their incredible stock market valuation, Valneva, the manufacturer of an inactivated vaccine, has made a brilliant comeback on the stock market floor. The reasons for the good mood were positive data regarding the neutralization of the Omicron variant, which pushed the share up by more than 30% after trading hours.

BioNTech, Defence Therapeutics, PAION - Seizing the momentum
The Corona pandemic brought biotechnology to the forefront of society's consciousness, especially since the first vaccines were created in German laboratories. However, the biotech spectrum is much broader than pandemic vaccine research. In addition to research in medicine, the sector is playing an increasingly important role in environmental protection, agriculture and the ongoing climate change.

Bayer, XPhyto Therapeutics, MorphoSys - Which pharmaceutical companies bring returns?
Most recently, the pharmaceutical industry has been accused of being greedy and getting rich off Corona. While it is true that 2021 has been dominated by vaccine news, the industry can do much more than just produce vaccines against Corona. Handelsblatt ran a headline on January 10, "In the shadow of Corona," citing the growing number of cancers over the past several years. This year, more than 45 new drugs are expected to hit the market to help fight cancer and genetic defects, among other things. Today, we look at three companies that do not make Corona vaccines.
